Though not to extent that it was last year, with the way Crabtree has managed to convert so far.

Not really. He had that one good series against the Lions where he converted 3 third downs on a single drive. Other than that, he hasn't been "the third down guy" necessarily. The entire team is floating close to 30% around the same place as last season. That's unacceptable.

No, all kinds of plays. Did you see the Detroit game? What were there, eight drops I believe?

Though as the Minnesota game showed, it can't win on it's own yet.).

Yes we'll see what happens. I just thought the 49ers would have moved beyond these basic struggles by this point.

The LSU and UF game finally ended. I was surprise to see UF and I am happy that they won. Quite ugly though on both sides, really expected a blow on blow game with constant scoring. MY prediction was around 40 or 50 points on each team, didn't expect something lower than 20.

And the eagles bit the dust. My gut told me that my d would let the steelers trounce down the field and score. Christ it sure feels like most of the time nowadays it is better to have the ball last in a close game so you can just move down the field with ease and hit a field goal.
